The Most Expensive Lamborghini Ever Made

The Most Expensive Lamborghini Ever Made
The short answer

The most expensive Lamborghini with a verifiable sale behind it is a Veneno Roadster at $6 million, in June 2024. The $117 million figure that leads almost every other list belongs to the one-off Egoista, and it is a rumour — no house, no date, no named buyer. The dearest Lamborghini anyone rents in Los Angeles is a Huracán Evo.

Three numbers, and only two of them are real

Every other answer to this question opens with a hundred and seventeen million dollars. That sale has no auction house, no date, no buyer and no receipt — the encyclopaedia everyone is quoting calls it a rumour in the same sentence.

This matters more here than it did for any other marque in this series. Mercedes has a hammer price with a room full of witnesses. Ferrari has two. Lamborghini's headline figure is a story about a car that its maker once said would never be sold at all, and the story keeps being reprinted without the word that Wikipedia puts on it.

So the columns stay apart. A rumour is labelled a rumour, a hammer price names its month, a list price names how many were built, and the one Lamborghini a reader can actually be handed the keys to sits in our own Lamborghini fleet rather than at the end of the article.

The rumour that leads every other list

The Egoista: one built, a canopy instead of doors, and the car the $117 million rumour is attached to.

The Egoista is a single-seat one-off built for Lamborghini's fiftieth anniversary in 2013, with a canopy instead of doors and bodywork that was styled after an Apache helicopter. Lamborghini said at the time that it was not for sale, describing it as a gift from Lamborghini to Lamborghini, and put it in the factory museum at Sant'Agata Bolognese.

In 2025 a story appeared that it had gone to a private collector in Switzerland for $117 million. It may be true. What can be said is what is missing: no auction house has published a result, no date has been given, no buyer has been named, and the encyclopaedia carrying the claim carries it as a rumour rather than as a fact.

Put that figure in a ranked table beside real hammer prices and the table stops being usable. It is thirteen times the largest Lamborghini number that anybody can point at a receipt for, and it would sit second on the all-time list for any car of any marque — ahead of every Ferrari ever sold. A claim that large needs more than a repost.

The record that does have a receipt

That record is the Veneno. Lamborghini built four coupés and nine roadsters in 2013 and 2014, kept one coupé for the museum, and listed the car at $4,000,000 — the highest price Lamborghini has ever printed against a road car. Underneath the bodywork it is a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 making 740 horsepower, which is to say it is an Aventador in a costume, and the costume is most of the price.

The wing and the diffuser are most of what four million dollars bought. The V12 under them is the Aventador’s, unchanged in capacity.

One of the roadsters made $6 million at an online auction in June 2024. That is the number to quote when somebody asks what the most expensive Lamborghini is, because it is the largest figure attached to a Lamborghini that somebody actually paid, on a date, in a place, to a house that published the result.

What Lamborghini has never done, and why it changes the answer

Here is the finding that no ranking of these cars mentions. Take the list of the most expensive cars ever sold at public auction and read down it. Mercedes holds first and second. Ferrari is third and fourth. A Shelby is fifth. Porsche appears five times. Lamborghini does not appear on it at all.

The Countach set the shape every Lamborghini since has argued with. It was drawn for a road, and never for a grid.

The reason is not that Lamborghini built worse cars. It is that almost every car at the top of that list is a racing car with a competition history — a Grand Prix chassis, a Le Mans entry, a car with race numbers and a logbook. Ferruccio Lamborghini refused to go racing. The company was founded to build fast road cars for people who found Ferrari's road cars disappointing, and works motorsport was explicitly not part of it.

Sixty years later that decision is visible in the money. The cars that clear ten million dollars are, with very few exceptions, cars that were driven in anger by somebody whose name is in a record book. A Lamborghini has almost never been one of those, so a Lamborghini has almost never been worth that. The marque's ceiling is a rarity ceiling, not a provenance ceiling, and rarity is the cheaper of the two.

Two rules, because they are where these lists break

A rumour is not a price. If nobody will name the house, the date or the buyer, the figure does not belong in a column beside numbers that have all three. Label it and keep it separate, or leave it out.

The number belongs to a car, not to a badge. Four Veneno coupés and nine roadsters are not the same car and did not cost the same money, and “the most expensive Lamborghini” means a specific one of the thirteen.

The one that actually appreciated

The interesting Lamborghini in money terms is not the Veneno at all. It is the Miura, and specifically the SV: 150 were built between 1971 and 1973, out of a Miura run that began in 1966, around a 3.9-litre V12 mounted sideways behind the driver.

The Miura SV. 150 were built between 1971 and 1973, and it is the one Lamborghini whose value has behaved like a Ferrari’s.

When Nicolas Cage sold his SV/J at Brooks in 1997 it made $490,000 and that was the model's record. An SVJ has since passed $1.9 million. Nothing about the car changed in those years; what changed is that the Miura stopped being a used supercar and became the first one, which is the kind of story that moves a price and the Veneno does not have.

The most expensive Lamborghini in Los Angeles

None of the cars above exists in a rental fleet anywhere. Thirteen Venenos, one Egoista, and a Miura market that is now a museum market.

Our own ladder is short and it runs the other way from what people expect. The Huracán Evo sits at the top at $1,799/day — three of them, in yellow, green and matte black, two of which are Spiders — and the Urus sits below it at $999/day across three cars. The Urus is the one most people ask for by name and it is not the dearest thing here, which is worth knowing before the call.

The gap between them is smaller than the gap between either and anything at the top of this page, and that is the honest summary of what a four-million-dollar price list has to do with a Saturday in Los Angeles: nothing, except the engine. The Evo's V10 is naturally aspirated, and that is now the rare part — not the price.

What it costs, and how it reaches you

The Huracán Evo carries a $2,000 refundable deposit and the Urus $1,500, and both come back 5–7 business days after the car does. Multi-day blocks exist and the quote picks them only where they genuinely beat the days they cover, which on this marque is rarer than on the saloons — so read the rate on the car's own page rather than trusting a figure typed here in September.

Collection from our lot on Robertson Boulevard is free and delivery to the partner hotels in Beverly Hills is complimentary. Airport delivery is priced per direction: $75 standard, where the car waits in the airport parking structure and you take the shuttle out to it, and $150 VIP, where it is at the terminal when you walk out. Mileage is lower on the exotics than on the SUVs and saloons, and anything past the allowance is charged per mile at the rate written into your agreement. The rest is in the terms.

The short version, with the rumour kept out of the table

The most expensive Lamborghini anybody can prove was sold is a Veneno Roadster at $6 million, in June 2024. The highest price Lamborghini itself ever asked is $4 million, for the Veneno coupé, of which four were built.

The $117 million Egoista figure is a rumour with no house, no date and no buyer, and the encyclopaedia everyone quotes for it says so. It leads almost every other page on this question.

And Lamborghini appears nowhere on the list of the most expensive cars ever auctioned, because that list is mostly racing cars and Ferruccio Lamborghini refused to go racing. The most expensive Lamborghini in Los Angeles is a Huracán Evo, in our garage rather than in a museum.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most expensive Lamborghini ever sold?

With a verifiable result behind it, a Veneno Roadster at $6 million in an online auction in June 2024. You will see $117 million quoted for the one-off Egoista, but that is a rumour rather than a recorded sale: no auction house has published it, no date has been given and no buyer has been named.

Is the Lamborghini Egoista really worth $117 million?

Nobody can show that it sold for that. The Egoista is a single one-off built for Lamborghini's fiftieth anniversary in 2013, and Lamborghini said at the time it was not for sale. A story appeared in 2025 that it went to a Swiss collector for $117 million, and even Wikipedia carries that as rumoured. Treat it as a claim, not a price.

How much did the Lamborghini Veneno cost new?

$4,000,000, in 2013. Four coupes were built and one of those was kept by the factory, so three reached customers, and nine roadsters followed. Underneath it is the Aventador's 6.5-litre V12 making 740 horsepower, which means most of the four million bought the bodywork and the rarity rather than the mechanicals.

Why is no Lamborghini on the list of the most expensive cars ever auctioned?

Because that list is dominated by racing cars with competition history, and Ferruccio Lamborghini refused to take the company racing. Mercedes holds the top two places, Ferrari the next two, and Porsche appears five times, all on the strength of cars that actually raced. Lamborghini's value ceiling comes from rarity instead, and rarity is worth less than provenance.

Which Lamborghini can you rent in Los Angeles?

Six: three Huracan Evos at $1,799/day, two of them Spiders, and three Urus at $999/day. None of the cars in the ranking above is rentable anywhere, and we would rather you read that here than find it out on the phone.
